Parent Booster Club

AACT’s Parent Booster Club's purpose is to support the academic and career tech student organizations and clubs. Joining will put parents in the know for all AACT activities and events sponsored by our volunteer parent boosters. Cost is only $20/year per family. Note you can donate more via the form and that all donations up to $300 will get additional tax deduction this year. Also, during the once a month meetings (typically 2nd Wednesday of every month at 5:30 PM), volunteers attend to discuss their ideas and solutions with school staff, and to learn more about AACT’s community and activities. We would really love to see you there and/or to have you support with the many opportunities for parents!

In 2019-2020 school year Boosters supported in some of these areas to help our students:
  • awarded 7 well deserving seniors with $1,000 scholarships each,
  • helped purchase 10 jackets for FCCLA competition,
  • helped purchase 10 graphing calculators to support ACT Testing,
  • Junior Interviews - note we are doing this Oct 21-23rd 2020, please use this link to sign-up and help:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080445acaa23a1fd0-junior2
    Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. If you can help for both morning slots on Oct 22 and 23rd, please sign up for both here. This is a GREAT way to give back to our students! TBD right now if we will do this over zoom or in person. Thank you!

  • In addition, Boosters helped staff  and some financial support to Teacher Appreciation, Junior Interviews, dance chaperones, Graduation, and much more!

Drop us a note to offer ideas/suggestions via the Booster Club mailbox located in the main hallway near the "Commons".  All parents, students, teachers and staff are welcome to attend meetings. Please email us with any questions you may have here.

NOTE:
  • Renewal to Boosters is every year - so to remain as an awesome supporter of AACT Parent Boosters supporting our students, please follow the instructions of the previous email.
  • We'll keep this current subscriber list until October 30th. At that time, we'll switch to all the fine folks who have signed up for current 2020-21 year and remove those that have probably moved on (and to those we wish the best of success for your seniors that graduated last June!)
 Please email us with any questions you may have here.
